POLYPHENOLS WITH ALGICIDAL ACTIVITY IN THE SUBMERGED MACROPHYTE MYRIOPHYLLUM SPICATUM L. [PDF]

Acta Horticulturae, 1994
The role of phenols as defence mechanisms in various terrestrial plants is well studied. However, in aquatic environments, they are probably involved also in the chemical interactions between species. A periodic shift from dominance by submerged macrophytes to dominance by phytoplankton and vice versa without apparent change in the external nutrient ...

Eutrophication promoted the change of macrophyte community from R strategy to C strategy in Lake Taihu

Ecological Indicators
Functional traits effectively reflect plants’ ecological strategies in response to environmental changes. This study investigated how lake eutrophication influences macrophyte communities ecological strategies by analyzing leaf functional traits along ...

Invasive goldfish trigger a regime shift in experimental lake ecosystems of varying trophic state

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The pet trade distributes exotic animals around the globe that enrich human lives. However, some pets become pests when released into the wild. This study provides experimental evidence that goldfish will negatively affect native freshwater organisms and ecosystems.

Introduction of Native Submerged Macrophytes to Restore Biodiversity in Streams

Plants
Streams are biodiversity hotspots that provide numerous ecosystem services. Safeguarding this biodiversity is crucial to uphold sustainable ecosystem functioning and to ensure the continuation of these ecosystem services in the future. However, in recent decades, streams have witnessed a disproportionate decline in biodiversity compared to other ...

Effect of removal of free-floating macrophytes on zooplankton habitat in shallow wetland

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2014
Submerged macrophytes improve the structural heterogeneity of microhabitats in aquatic ecosystems, often providing an important habitat for zooplankton.

Geometric Morphometrics Reveal Body Shape Variation in Freshwater Shrimps of the Genus Macrobrachium Lacking a Mandibular Palp (Formerly Pseudopalaemon Sollaud, 1911) (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shape variation in the cephalothorax of Macrobrachium species without mandibular palp using geometric morphometrics was used as a tool to support species differentiation and propose new diagnostic characters for taxonomic identification.

The distribution of submerged macrophytes in response to intense solar radiation and salinity reveals hydrogen peroxide as an abiotic stress indicator

Scientific Reports, 2023
The feasible condition for submerged macrophyte growth is hard to understand as many environmental factors contribute to establishing macrophyte distribution with different intensities generating excess reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Palaeoenvironmental and climatic changes from the lateglacial of the Saalian to the Late Weichselian in central Poland: a multiproxy study from Józefów

Boreas, EarlyView.
Józefów site is a case study which provides a detailed record of environmental and climate changes and confirms the main traces of the landscape morphogenesis of the Late Pleistocene established in central‐eastern Europe. This study presents a multiproxy reconstruction of palaeoenvironment under variable climatic conditions from the retreat of the ...

Investigation on the trends and characteristics of articles on submerged macrophytes: perception from bibliometrics between 1991 and 2018

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2019
Submerged macrophytes, as one of the most important primary producers in shallow lakes and streams, have attracted significant research attention, with relevant studies showing dynamic evolution over the past three decades.

Species composition and morpho-ecological groups of aquatic macrophytes in foothill lakes on the eastern slope of the Southern Urals (Chelyabinsk region, Russia) [PDF]

Check List, 2015
The aquatic macrophyte richness in nine lakes situated in the Chelyabinsk region (Russia) was analyzed. These lakes represent the foothill group, located on the eastern slope of the Southern Urals range.
